A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!

As a further illustration of how
fucked up the ad biz is, reading the pathetic details of Honda’s current agency
search for its $700 million account made me so mad, I almost dropped my gin
& tonic.
According to AdAge, Michael Accavitti, the douchenozzle who fired RPA after
many years of great work and terrific sales, has been talking to wide range of players at several holding companies. Using
Roth & Assoc (Yet another criminal search consultant) they’ve already
removed several hundred shops from contention last month, and now the list has
been whittled to an “interesting” one
that includes everything from West coast hot-shops to large global agency
networks. Yes, the Frat/Fart boys are in there… But remember, Mini was a
long time ago guys, since then you’ve done talking Beetles, mad Nazi scientists
and Nurse Diesel tits. And guess who’s still in contention… Yes, “Agency of the Past” Draft/FCB! I’ll bet
Accavitti’s garage is bursting at the seams with all those cases of “Effen-Fuckin-Effen”
vodka. See ya for dinner and lap dances at Nobu, Mr. Accavitti! And apparently RPA is still up
for a re-pitch… Guys… Guys… Don’t fucking do it, he doesn’t love you, he’s
looking for fresh, exciting, NEW lip smacking love. Don’t piss your money away. Tell him to
fuck off.
